Summary:

"Caribbean Literature in Transition ambitiously redefines received ideas of this region's literary traditions to present a significantly expanded terrain for critical intervention. By extending the chronology back to 1800, before either the Caribbean or Literature had been imagined in their present currencies, challenging narrow definitions of literary production, and reaching across linguistic divides,the critical interventions that comprise this series deliver a substantially new framework for future study and research. Boldly inclusive, Caribbean Literature in Transition attends to transformations in genre, language, form, and platform as well as to the intricate creative intersections between oral, performative and literary cultures, the intensity of cultural encounters and exchanges that have forged creolized sensibilities, and the complex patterning of local and global diasporas that have remained central to Caribbean experience and have continued to shape the production and reception of its writings. The essays collected here explore how Caribbean literary history is marked by returning creative and critical preoccupations, as well as overlapping local and global connections inscribed by thick historiesof oppression and resistance. The series importantly refreshes understandings of this history for the twenty first century by drawing on the invigoratingtheoretical insights of black atlantic studies, queer studies, eco-criticism and the digital humanities, as well as historical materials newly restored by the archival turn in Caribbean Studies. In sum, Caribbean Literature in Transition both generates fresh approaches to familiar works and brings overlooked and forgotten works into view"-- Provided by publisher.
